Diagram document
| This page or section is under construction right now. |
Diagrams (graphs) as two-dimensional geometric representations of information according to graphic notation conventions are provided by a number of databases and tools in BioUML.
The general scheme of their use is that an overview of a graph is shown in the viewparts area, under the Overview tab, while its full-sized view is shown in the document pane above, where usually only a part of the whole diagram is visible.
Diagrams contain components shown as ovals, reactions as squares, and links as lines or arrows, as defined by the graphic notation.
The currently displayed section can be shifted either in the document pane by clicking and dragging, or by shifting (clicking and dragging) the blue-dotted rectangle (representing the area now viewed in the document pane) in the Overview tab of the viewparts area. To facilitate orientation in large diagrams, individual edges are highlighted (turning from a thin, usually black arrow into a thick light-blue one).
Clicking on an individual node can show information about this component in the property inspector (Info tab) of the information box (this works for BioModels). Double-clicking on a node will activate the link to reference information on an external website, if any.
Diagrams can be zoomed in and zoomed out by clicking on the buttons 
or 
, correspondingly, in the general control panel above.
Diagrams can be exported in a number of formats by clicking on the button 
in the general control panel above.
